As wallcovering shifts to digital on-demand manufacturing, questions on safety and fire regulations have to be reconsidered. In a world of changing rules, where multiple actors intervene, it becomes important to conduct and extend research to predict fire resistance and behavior of materials once printed and finished. Sihl research aims to provide first insights and draw attention to the next manufacturing advances to be documented in the future.
